Two circles of radii a and b touch each ...

Two circles of radii a and b touch each other externally and `theta` be the angle between their direct common tangents `(agtbge2)`then

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`C_1C_2BD` is a parallelogram
BD=a+b
AD=a-b
`sintheta/2=(AD)/(BD)=(a-b)/(a+b)` `theta/2=sin^(-1)((a-b)/(a+b))`
`theta=2sin^(-1)((a-b)/(a+b))`
option d is correct.
